I am a solutions-focused visual designer and am thrilled when the opportunity to blend analysis with imagination arises. My go-to method for communication drawing and design which really allows me explore so many different industries and gives me the chance to feed my never-ending need to keep learning.

I have 5+ years experience designing at signage companies in B2B and B2C settings. Creating immersive experiences for our clients’ clients’ while keeping safety in addition to corporate branding in mind. Designing client and user-centric displays while still staying on budget and meeting fast paced deadlines. Starting as a production artist allowed me to learn foundational information regarding the physical production and the modifications most designs need to be fabricated which made me a stronger graphic designer which in turn made me a highly skilled visual communications specialist. I managed over 100+ unique projects a month and leading the company to see a 100K sales increase each year for 3 years, making the company reach record sales.To round that all out, I also have the joy of being a visual development and concept artist, currently focusing on the independent gaming industry. I design characters and worlds players can relate to. I create storyboards exploring scenes and moments, making sure we (the design team) are hitting the correct emotional keys, and planning the art assets needed for production. Then using line work, value and color, I illustrate emotional story moments that player can get wrapped up in. I also lend my graphic design skills as needed with logo designs, trade show displays, and really any visual assets if the need arises.On occasion I take freelance graphic design and illustration projects for local historic preservation companies and other local companies that align with my personal interests.Artwork featured in:Concept Art for Code Romantic featured in VALA Art Gallery's 2017 Game On! show by request'Brightly Colored Petticoats and Frills' featured in Tryst Gallery's April 2018 juried show'The Adventure Begins' featured in Tryst Gallery's August 2018 juried show'The Adventure Begins' ' Maid Maleen underpainting', 'Mapping out tea' featured in FantaCon Kirkland 2023 gallery by request
